Private Message to Mum and Dad

Hiya. Sorry I didn't write yesterday, but we've been so busy with fitness and skills tests. And marching, which is hilarious. I mean, it's just mental, we're so rank at it. But they've got us doing it for hours. And, get this: we're meant to go march in uniform at the Freedom Day celebration in New London, so we've got to work out how to do it. Or there'll be trouble.

Um, so yeah. Mum. I did send Percy an owl. All right? I mean, I wrote to say the Burrow will feel empty without him grumping about. And that the goats'll miss him. So I did do it, and you don't have to keep reminding me, yeah?

So, um. I was thinking. Percy's room. It seems a waste for it to just sit there with the dust piling up. So do you think I could maybe move down there?

Anywiz, I miss you, but it's all good here. No big accidents or cockups yet. Except for the whole marching business. So I'll see you in three weeks, yeah?

Your favourite son,
Ronald

You don't have to come to the parade, y'know. Not for me, I mean.

I think we're going to really reek at this marching thing. People are starting go all shouty crackers about it, too. I reckon Blaise Zabini may blast somebody if they don't smarten up soon. Bundy and I have a wager on who'll snap first, him or Patil.

It's just for pudding, Mum. Before you say anything. The wager, I mean. If she loses, she gives me hers, and if I lose, she gets mine.

Anywiz. So Percy's not finished shifting house yet, then? I thought he'd be gone already. And once he is, what does he care what happens to that room? I mean, he'll have his own new rooms in New London. It's not like he'll need his old one.

Only, it would be loads easier to shift my things when I'm packing up, and then I could just come home to that room at Christmas Hols. And anywiz, you know how my room smells of ghoul dung whenever it's been shut up for a long time. That's really foul, too, in case you hadn't noticed.

Think about it? I mean, maybe you could just not tell Perce for a bit if you think he'll have a snit over it.

But we do want to see it, dear. And we can get together with you afterwards, if you like, but really, if you'd prefer to go off with your own friends, your father and I will understand entirely. Ginny will be joining us, but you don't need to, if you don't want to do so.

And as for the room, let me think about it. I'll talk with your father, and perhaps then to Percy.
